yes. really good point. I've seen that happen to a minor degree. I'd start by carefully documenting everything that's agreed and changed and then raising to issue to senior management on both teams so they can sit down and discuss it. Worse case you also flag this to HR and during the 360 review process but there's only so much you can do ....
That's a great example. One solution here might be to find an intermediary who works well / gets along with the Toxic boss and involve them in process somehow. You might just go to them for advice and try to understand how they they work with the person and what process has worked well for them. Another one would be to try and meet with your Toxic boss outside the office in a more neutral setting where you can have an open and honest conversation about what's going on. What I've found is people behave and open up differently outside of an office setting. You could also discuss your problem with other folks who work for this person and see if they are coming up against the same problem. If they are, then there are clearer grounds for you all to bring the problem to someone else to try and present it objectively coming 360 review time.
Thanks for all the feedback guys - good or bad. It's all helpful. If you found that post useful, I just published the followup post to that: 3 Steps to Finding your Dream Job. Hope it helps and have a great weekend:

You're actually 100% right. That's why after this last one I permanently decided to stop working for others and focus on what I'm doing now: Coaching others to not make the mistakes I did and writing to help those i can't help directly ;)
guys -thanks for all the comments on this. wasn't aware it was such an issue. Maybe it's the fact that the subscription pop up has a moving graphic. I'll remove that and hope it helps. thanks for the tip
sorry for the late reply - crazy few days. Time to go if you ask me. My post tomorrow basically addresses the 'ok, WTF do I do now?" question that comes next ;)
